Chapter 280: Sword Origin, The Tower Reappears (Two-in-one, Please Subscribe)
This was a stone cliff of blue mountains and green waters, where a Kuimu sword swung between heaven and earth.
Like the deity of this place!
It was exactly the Kuimu Sword Canon he had tirelessly sought, and Lin Shiming, filled with surprise and joy, glanced at it and was immediately immersed.
The surrounding scenery changed, the stone cliff disappeared, and what appeared instead was a plain with a small river reflecting white clouds and a blue sky, with layers of mountains in the distance, lush and verdant.
By the riverbank, a tall and straight Kuimu tree pierced into the sky.
And beneath the Kuimu, stood an old sword cultivator with white hair, poised and composed.
Lin Shiming became extremely vigilant in an instant.
He tried to reach for his Storage Bag, but found that it had lost its effects.
It was utterly impossible to summon any Magic Artifacts.
Even Flame Yang could no longer be communicated with.
It was just that the white-haired sword cultivator did not move, and it was as if he hadn't seen him at all, continuing to stand there in his own world.
"Senior?"
Continue your journey at empire
Lin Shiming called out, but did not receive a response.
He released his Divine Sense and probed cautiously.
But as soon as his Divine Sense reached out, he found that the white-haired sword cultivator was merely a beam of Spirit Light, a beam of enlightening Spirit Light that had persisted through the ages, so lifelike that it was impossible to distinguish its reality.
Or perhaps he was deep within an Illusion Array, with everything before his eyes a falsehood, naturally indiscernible.
Not much time passed when a series of Spirit Arts flowed from the body of the old sword cultivator, forming specific patterns.
At this moment, the old sword cultivator was like an old monk settling into meditation, slowly sitting cross-legged.
As Spirit Light converged, the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth surged toward the old man, and with it, a faintly blossoming Sword Intent.
Lin Shiming suddenly understood somewhat; his Divine Sense plunged directly into the old man's body, and the paths of the meridian circulation also appeared before his eyes.
However, the pace of the Spirit Arts was unusually slow, of course, this might also be an illusion of slow motion, but at least it was countless times slower than the Purple Wood Heart Sutra.
While the Spirit Arts were slow, the vastness of True Yuan and the breadth of the meridians were a sight he had only seen in his life.
Such a method of cultivation was undoubtedly extraordinarily powerful.
And the enormity and refinement of True Yuan would make breaking through much simpler.
What Lin Shiming did not expect was that within this skeletal shadow, there was also a Sword Dao seed inside his body, nurturing the Sword Intent, strengthening the Sword Intent.
That Sword Intent was also being constantly nourished and was indeed the Sword Imbuement Technique.
It seemed that the Qingxuan Sect's Sword Imbuement Technique was also obtained from the inheritance of Taibai Sword Palace.
What was most shocking was that the True Yuan within him actually passed through the Sword Origin.
This mode of cultivation was truly inconceivable!
True Yuan is True Yuan, Sword Intent is Sword Intent; if it were not so, there would be no separate distinction for sword cultivators.
Lin Shiming frowned and continued watching; the collision between True Yuan and Sword Intent was extremely intense, like a turbulent tidal wave.
But under a specific Spirit Art, they intertwined in a particular way, dazzling and captivating.
The True Yuan was tempered to be even more substantial and concentrated, while the Sword Intent grew even longer and unceasing.
Both benefited greatly, as if undergoing a transformation!
This was the true essence of the Kuimu Sword Canon.
It could not only condense True Yuan but also sharpen Sword Qi, the key to it all.
...
Lin Shiming was highly focused, sitting to the side, meticulously recording everything, not daring to miss a single detail.
Without changing his cultivation technique, he could not cultivate it now.
He could only use the cultivator's powerful Divine Sense and his eidetic memory to record the Kuimu Sword Canon on a Jade Slip.
And the sword shadow in front of him, like a meticulous senior, slowly evolved the cultivation technique.
From the Qi Refinement Realm, to the Foundation Establishment Stage, and then to the Purple Mansion Realm.
Finally, the Golden Core Stage, the Nascent Soul Stage, he practiced each stage one by one.
And he practiced with great meticulousness.
Starting from the Purple Mansion Realm, Lin Shiming found that his memory was struggling.
After all, he had never cultivated to such levels, and the complexity far exceeded that of Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment.
The many obscure and bitter Spirit Arts left him perplexed, unable to comprehend, and he could only grit his teeth and record them.
At this moment, he dared not relax in the slightest; any mistake could lead to problems with his cultivation technique in the future. Even with system prompts, Lin Shiming was not willing to take the risk.
Due to the nature of the Jade Slip, Lin Shiming was both recording the visuals and detailing the pathways and secret arts, prepared on all fronts, giving him greater stability.
He had system prompts; if it came to practicing the cultivation technique and system prompts also provided visuals, that would naturally be excellent.
And so, the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, all were recorded by Lin Shiming.
He felt as if he had broken into a sweat as if he had been through a fierce magical battle.
Exhausted in body and spirit!
But he couldn't afford the slightest distraction; whether he could return to the Taibai Sword Palace again was uncertain, and he had to record everything without omission.
As the cultivation technique was fully recorded, what followed were the sword moves.
What especially shocked Lin Shiming was that the Foundation Establishment secret arts of the Kuimu Sword Canon combined True Yuan and Sword Intent to form an even more powerful Sword Origin.
This moment also overturned Lin Shiming's understanding.
The Kuimu Sword Canon, rightly a Superior Grade earth-level cultivation technique, was who knows how much better compared to the Purple Wood Heart Sutra.
The sword shadow continued to illustrate; once the secret arts of the Foundation Establishment Stage were fully rendered, it was time for the Minor Divine Abilities of the Purple Mansion Realm.
The Minor Divine Abilities did not differ too much, the Kuimu Sword Formation, the power of this Sword Array, was also quite formidable, enchanting Lin Shiming. Still, ultimately not having reached the Purple Mansion Realm, there was too much that was bitter and difficult to understand, prompting Lin Shiming to record in detail.
And after recording once through,
The shadow then started over from the beginning.
The shadow's repetition was a pleasant surprise for Lin Shiming.
He didn't dare to be negligent, immediately continuing to cross-reference the recorded cultivation technique, meticulously checking each detail.
